The train belonged to Ferromex, the largest rail freight transport company in Mexico. State Civil Defense coordinator Eduardo Muño said Ferromex needs to clear the area and determine whether there were more fires.
Authorities believe that the lack of adequate trail conditions in the section may have caused the derailment. The investigation into the car is ongoing.
